Breakfast for lunch
Some pics from our Friday: Met with some friends for lunch at AJs. This salad was INCREDIBLE- greens, goat cheese, balsamic, dried cranberries, blackberries and candied almonds Paused during playtime for a 30 second snuggle 😉 and since Liv took two 2-hour naps (!!!), I did a lot around the house, made the October workout…

Apple tart for one
Yesterday, I got to teach the Tabata class at work. My friend, who has it every week, is recovering from a triathlon and said, “Hey Gina, will you teach today?” Um, is the Pope Catholic? Even though I’m not new to Tabata, the class is very structured with specific moves for each round and recovery…

Living in my coin belt
The past 24 hours have been filled with dancing- not a bad way to start a weekend. Last night, my work friends and I performed our bellydance at an event downtown. (Katie and I wearing normal clothes over our costumes. The legit bellydancers had sparkly coverups and tunics.. this is how we rolled) It was…

9/12: What I Ate Wednesday
Last time I posted an entire day of eats, I got a few requests to make it a regular thing. While it was fun, taking care of Liv and photographing my many snack/meals is a bit of a tricky combo. Plus… well, you’ll see. Some of the things I eat are not very pretty to…

“Three Great A’s” Pizza
Before Liv was a twinkle in our eyes, we talked about how we would introduce our children to the three great A’s: avocado, artichoke and asparagus. I’ve always wanted to combine them into a dish, but thought they might taste weird together. But pizza? You can put anything on a pizza. This combo was RIDICULOUS.…

Healthy Baked Zucchini Sticks
Today I have a delicious recipe for healthy baked zucchini sticks. They’re perfect for when you have a hankering, but don’t want the greasy, fried variety found at most restaurants. First, here’s a bit about what I’ve been up to lately: shopping for bridesmaid dresses! Steps for Trying on Bridesmaid Dresses 1. Shop with the…

Friday, it’s good to see ya. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks! We’re wrapping up 2 weeks of night flying with the Pilot, which was after him being gone for 2 weeks, so I’m excited to hang out with him again on a regular basis. This week, he’s come home in the middle of…
Read More →Chip dance
Whenever the Pilot flies at night, I try to bring on the rain so that his flight is canceled and he comes home. So nice, huh? Last night, in typical Gina fashion, I did the rain dance, and the chip dance. I was just going to have a couple handfuls but then I dominated the…

Fig, goat cheese + asparagus salad
It’s dance week at work. I always get so excited for dance week because we offer extra classes, taught by professional choreographers and dancers that come stay at the resort, and have a little recital so the guests can perform what they’ve learned. The dance fitness instructors always do a number, too, (this time it’s…

It was a day full of good things. First off, I found a new {air-conditioned!} place to take Liv during the day: the library. I had a card in Orlando since I loved to borrow books on CD for long commutes, but forgot to get one a new one in Tucson. We remedied that today!…

It was a happy Friday over here. Liv and I ran a few errands, and since I was in the neighborhood (and was really wanting some gluten-free pizza), I picked up Renee’s Organic Oven for lunch: Chicken, olives and mushrooms (with goat gouda added form home) + avocado salad (avocados and cashews were buried by…
